The event, held at Spazio Vittoria (Via Vittorio Colonna 11, Rome), is by invitation only.

NABA Fashion Show 2024: concept and event
During this edition of the Fashion Show, students from the Milan campus will present 10 collections selected by a jury of NABA Alumni, journalists, professionals and industry companies. Each proposal is inspired by "Stitching Words," the concept Nicoletta Morozzi (NABA Fashion Design Advisor) defined at the beginning of the Academic Year for this edition, that serves as a reflection on language and its constant evolution to express actions and emotions in ways that are increasingly suited to the ongoing changes in technologies and human relationships. Fashion, in fact, is a language, thanks to the alchemical phenomenon that arises in the relationship between people and the clothes they wear.
The NABA Fashion Show 2024 theme provided students with the opportunity to create their own language, composed of stitched words that brought to life stories through clothing, fabrics, photos, videos, and all tools at their disposal, from embroidery to artificial intelligence.
NABA Fashion Show 2024: The magazine
As in previous years, the 2024 edition of the Academy's annual Magazine, developed within the BA specialization in Fashion Styling and Communication specialisation, is planned. Now in its eleventh edition and presented during the Fashion Show, “Darwin 20” narrates the creations of Milan and Rome students based on the same concept. The magazine gathers content related to the communication of the collections and special projects carried out during the Academic Year, also published at fashionview.naba.it (link)
Four exceptional mentors guided the students involved in producing the magazine: Elisa Ambrosetti (Project Manager and Producer, nss magazine), Candela Pelizza (Art Director, Content Creator, and Web Influencer), Riccardo Scaburri (Fashion Designer and founder of Lessico Familiare), and Lorenzo Seghezzi (Founder of Lorenzo Seghezzi).
